KENEN (Editor's note: The fol- lowing article was ex- cerpted from Near East Report.) The prolific George W. Ball, an inveterate critic of Israel, captured a Washing- ton Post headline for an ar- ticle in which he airily con- tended that President Car- ter should have "ignored Henry Kissinger's secret late-night promise that the United States would not negotiate with or recognize the PLO." It was "gro- tesquely inappropriate for a great power to give a tiny nation a veto on its diploma- tic freedom of action," Ball said. Our government offered Israel many assurances over the years, but these proved ephemeral in times of crisis for, it was argued, they were unilateral and did not involve reciprocal commitments by Israel. But the promise to oppose alterations of Resolutions 242 and 338 and to deny recognition to the PLO un- less it acknowledged Is- rael's right to exist was not a secret Kissinger whim. It was published in September 1975 when Israel pulled back in the interim agree- ment with Egypt and reaf- firmed at Camp David last year. In short, it is an in- violable contract. America's credibility would vanish globally if it were to accede to Ball's irresponsible diplomatic heresy. Ball has a long record of partisanship. In 1965, as undersecretary of state, he prevailed upon a reluctant Congress not to insist on slashing economic aid to Egypt's President Nasser. He later led administration opposition to legislation to challenge the Arab boycott. In 1974, Ball called for an imposed Arab-Israeli set- tlement guaranteed by the great powers.

He wanted the United States to move with the-Soviets and the Europeans to win a mul- tilateral settlement, con- tending that Sadat's influ- ence would be weakened by a "sell-out" to the Israelis. His 1976 book, "Diplo- macy For A Crowded World," castigated Kis- singer's policies, which gave rise to the impres- sion that Ball hoped to succeed him as secretary of state. In a 1977 article, "How to Save Israel in Spite of Her- self," he proposed a PLO state and urged U.S. eco- nomic and military sanc- tions to force Israel to capitulate. Critics asked what leverage Washington had to force the Arab states to go along. In 1978, he defended the sale of F-15s to Saudi Arabia lest we impair the prospect of peace (But did the sale enhance it?) In his concluSion, Ball beat the oil drums, reveal- ing his motivation: By the Camp David accords, we are in danger of alienating those Arab nations ... that supply one-third of the free world's oil." Israel Bonds Will Honor Sam Rothberg at Dinner NEW YORK — Sam Rothberg will be honored for a lifetime of service to Israel at an international tribute in Washington on -- Nov. 18, under the auspices of the Israel Bond Organiza- tion, it was announced by Robert H. Smith, Washing- ton community leader and real estate developer, who will serve as chairman of the event. Minister Prime Menahem Begin will ad- dress the dinner in honor of Rothberg, Smith said. Rothberg will receive the first Golda Meir Leadership Award. The award, authorized by the family of the late Prime Minister of Israel, is to be presented annually to a national Jewish leader "who has dis- tinguished himself in prom- oting Israel's economic and social progress." A principal founder of the Mel & Inez Kepes Israel Bond Organization, Rothberg has been a key figure in the growth of the program which has pro- duced more than $4.5 bil- lion for Israel's economic development since 1951. Sadat's Strategy TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The Israeli newspaper Maariv claims that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat has asked African nations to withhold recognition of Is- rael. The Maariv story said Sadat hopes to use the polit- ical recognition issue to his advantage in the Middle East peace negotiations. Before the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Israel had dip- lomatic relations with 22 African states. Nineteen broke relations with Israel. Despite the break, Israel still has advisers and proj- ects in 12 African countries. MR. & MRS. JULIUS STOBINSKY MR. and MRS.
